I am consistently baffled by this sentiment. Do you only encourage sports for admission advantage? Seems like a fair number of you do, judging by some of the posts I see on the college forum. You don’t seem to appreciate that some kids are legitimately passionate about their sport. They WANT to spend time on it. |
Depends on the sport. |
Why? It just seems like so many people on here assume ‘my kid wants to be recruited for his sport in college’ means ‘my kids want to use this sport as an admission advantage but not have to spend too much time on it, and ideally drop it as soon as possible’. I cannot imagine investing so much time and effort in something primarily for admission advantage. What a sad way to think of things that should be passions |
